hope your coping with out the pain med s when i had the band fitted i used kids liquid pain medicine it was for age six plus took 15ml when i could and that helped x

fingers crossed this works out for you. can't offer any advice just didn't want to read with out saying something x

hi i think that has to do with a low cal diet any time i do total meal replacement diets after day three when Im in ketosis i start to get really cold .

wow you look great how much til you get to goal. you can really see that 32 pound x

you look great x

hey there Im 5 ^ 2 and i got to 130 with the band and i loved that weight. when i got thinner then that i looked way to thin it really didn't suit me

these little victories are brilliant we all have that one thing don't we. i have an out fit i wore on one of my first dates with my husband and he often mentions it when we talk about first meeting he said when he saw me that night he said he was gonna marry that girl to him self. id love to come down stairs one night when we would be going out in the same thing again x well done x

wow ! you look fantastic x

a slipped band puts you into starvation nothing goes down i lost 24 pound in a month with a slipped band. the sleeve is different from what people say a lot of band to sleevers have very slow weight loss or put some back on. but it will balance out your body would have been in shock and is probably storing as much as it can as a survival mechanism in case you starve it again. my advice is follow your diet and give it time take away your scales and start to measure your self x best of luck with it x

so now your nearly there what changes un maintain your loss and also stop losing ? Im not sleeved yet. your story is amazing well done on such a great weight loss

fantastic x loving the dress and the hair too x

you look amazing x well done you

well done x putting the next size down clothing hanging up is a great idea having my surgery on the 19th of November think I'll sort out some clothes today x

November 19th

typical ! we appreciate things more when we have to fight for them . this will all be so worth it xxx best of luck

hey Im new here and not yet sleeved. i think you need to slow down hun . i just seen an other post you had about flirting you seem to be Im such a rush. i would try to enjoy the process of losing the weight and then spend some time getting to know the new you. life changes us we grow and you have done such a huge thing In having your surgery its very brave your not the person you were at the start of your journey and next June or July you will have changed more not just your body but your confidence and mind . please don't settle for less cos you have given your self a time scale . Im probably boring you sorry x i can go on a bit x x x you sound amazing you deserve the best

thanks girls for the welcome.x . i am getting so excited i can't wait I've had a few surgeries so that side of things isn't giving me too much worry. i just want to start my new life.

hi Im new on VST Im from Ireland and traveling to tijuana to get my sleeve done. surgery is on the 19th of November. its really scary traveling around to the other side of the world to get sleeved but to have it here it would cost $22,000 and we don't get covered by insurance for elective surgery even if you are considered obese. ok my name is Sarah Im 31 i have two gorgeous girls 5 and 17 months . i had the lap band. it slipped during my second pregnancy so had to have it removed at 5 months pregnant. since then i have gained 70lb . i was really scared the last few weeks even thinking of canceling but since i have found this site Im much more positive . thanks guys x
